Movie Review
Mission: Impossible 2
by Gary Johnson
Until I saw the name John Woo on the movie posters, I was planning on skipping Mission: Impossible 2. The first Mission: Impossible movie arrogantly crushed virtually all the classic elements of the TV show. It killed off all the show's main characters, introduced a new lead, and stripped the show of most of its intelligence, which it replaced with a headstrong rush of bullets, explosions, and broken glass. A classic television show had been gutted in favor of churning out another noisy, pre-fabricated blockbuster.
